    GlossaryHair Follicle Depth

    distance from skin surface to hair follicle base

    Hair Follicle Depth refers to the distance from the surface of the skin to the base of the hair follicle, where the hair root is located. This measurement is important for understanding hair growth patterns, diagnosing certain scalp conditions, and planning treatments like hair transplants or laser hair removal.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 5 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
